Famous Death Row Last Meals

It begs the question: is it a diet drink or isn't it? It seems a wee bit contradictory to trumpet both claims on the same can but Dr. Pepper's peeps don't see it that way.
Leslie Vesper, brand manager for Diet Dr Pepper, sent Slashfood the following perky statement.
"Our loyal consumers tell us all the time that Diet Dr Pepper doesn't taste like a diet soft drink. This is where the "There's Nothing Diet About It" tagline comes from. We'd encourage anyone who is confused to give Diet Dr Pepper a try -- it's unbelievably satisfying!"
So hopefully that clears up the case of the puzzling and perplexing Dr. Pepper diet declarations.

Where are all the real journalists? Tired of all the sensationalism.
DIET Dr. Pepper rocks!

I'm glad some of us have a sense of humor. I'd hate to live a life where I take a satirical post so seriously. Lighten up, enjoy life. ;-)
